Trusted by clothing boutiques and apparel resale shops across America since 2002
Clothing consignment boutiques face unique challenges—high-volume inventory, multiple sizes and colors, seasonal turnover, and complex consignor relationships. Generic retail POS systems fall short. BCSS clothing consignment software is purpose-built for apparel resale shops, vintage boutiques, and multi-brand consignment stores—with a one-time $395 payment and zero monthly fees.
Unlike cloud-based competitors charging $99–$359 monthly, BCSS provides professional-grade tools for size/color matrix tracking, brand performance analytics, and automated seasonal markdowns—all installed locally on your Windows computer so you own it outright.
Process hundreds of garments daily with our rapid-entry size/color matrix. Select from all size ranges (XS–3XL, numeric 0–24, Petite, Plus, Maternity) and color families in seconds. No repetitive typing—built for high-volume intake of jeans, tops, dresses, outerwear, and more.
See exactly which brands drive your revenue with brand-level sales reporting. Track performance across designer labels (Chanel, Gucci, Prada), contemporary brands (Lululemon, Free People, Anthropologie), and mid-tier labels (Gap, J.Crew, Zara). Make data-driven decisions about what to accept on consignment.
Keep inventory fresh and racks turning with automatic price reductions by item age. Configure rules like 20% off after 30 days, 40% after 60 days, and 50% after 90 days. Markdown schedules print right on hang tags so customers see exactly when prices drop. Perfect for clearing summer inventory before fall arrives.
Print professional hang tags with barcodes for every garment. BCSS supports standard hang tags (with string), butterfly tags for jewelry and accessories, adhesive labels for poly bags, and thermal tags for high-volume shops. Scan barcodes at checkout for fast, accurate sales processing.
Track hundreds or thousands of consignors with automatic payout calculations. Set custom commission splits by item, brand tier, or individual consignor—designer at 60/40, contemporary at 50/50, mass market at 40/60. Generate professional settlement reports and print consignor checks in batches.
Document garment condition with standard grading (New with Tags, Like New, Excellent, Good, Fair) and detailed condition notes for flaws, alterations, or unique characteristics. Attach multiple photos per item for high-value pieces—essential for designer consignment and online listings.
"We process over 500 new items weekly in our LA boutique. BCSS's size/color matrix cuts our intake time in half compared to our old system. The brand reporting shows us that contemporary labels sell faster than luxury—helped us pivot our consignment strategy. Paid $395 once, three years ago. No monthly bills."

For shops specializing in vintage apparel, BCSS includes additional tracking tools that generic POS systems don't offer:
Tag items by decade (1920s, 1950s, 1970s, 1990s) and style era (Art Deco, Mod, Boho, Grunge). Vintage shoppers browse and search by era—BCSS makes that possible.
Document item history, previous owners, or special provenance that adds value to vintage and collectible pieces. Attach supporting photos.
Track vintage-specific condition details: original vs. replaced buttons, period alterations, fabric wear patterns, and restoration work. Builds buyer trust and supports higher price points.

Yes. BCSS supports all standard size systems: alpha (XS–3XL), women's numeric (0–24, 0–24P petite, 0–24W plus), men's numeric (waist/inseam, neck/sleeve for dress shirts), children's (infant, toddler, youth, by age), and one-size or custom size fields. You can use different size systems across different categories in the same database.
When clothing sells, BCSS automatically: (1) calculates commission based on the consignor's percentage, set globally or per item, (2) deducts any agreed fees, (3) generates a payout report showing items sold, sale prices, commissions earned, and net amount due, and (4) prints settlement statements or checks for batch processing. Commission rates can vary by brand tier, consignor, or item type.
Yes. BCSS allows commission rules by brand category. For example: designer/luxury items at a 60/40 split (consignor gets 60%), contemporary brands at 50/50, and mass market at 40/60. You can also set custom rates per individual consignor, overriding the category default. This flexibility helps you attract high-value consignors while maintaining profitability across the board.
Yes. BCSS is installed locally on your Windows PC or tablet and runs completely offline. Your boutique keeps processing sales during internet outages—critical on busy sale weekends when cloud systems go down. Data automatically backs up to OneDrive when your connection is restored. SimpleConsign, ConsignCloud, and other cloud platforms all require constant internet access to function.
With the Virtual Edition, consignors access a secure online portal to view their active items, see what has sold, check payout balances, and review sales history. This eliminates most consignor phone inquiries and increases satisfaction—especially for high-volume consignors who bring in large batches regularly.
When evaluating clothing consignment software, verify it can: (1) track inventory by size, color, and brand in a matrix format for fast entry, (2) automate seasonal markdowns by item age, (3) calculate consignor payouts and generate settlement reports automatically, (4) print professional hang tags and barcodes, (5) run offline without internet dependency, and (6) provide brand-level sales reporting. BCSS meets all six criteria at a one-time cost of $395.
